Cargo van once again blocking public walk. Same van, different day. This is one block from Lincoln School during session. Is this a public safety issue?

Bricks, wood, a cement mixer and miscellaneous debris on the sidewalk a block from Lincoln School.

Corner of Fairview and Crescent.Does this porta-potty look like it's on the sidewalk?The Elmhurst Police evening watch commander determined that this is not a sidewalk obstruction.

566 Fairview.The forms for this sidewalk were put in place in the dark by a crew working after hours. The result is "etched in stone",McDaid Construction.

Pile of lumber blocking the public walk.

See anything wrong?Look closer.

Elmhurst code allows a three foot high fence and it can be right against the front lot line. The problem is that the lot line is a foot away from the sidewalk, the pillars are four feet high and the caps hang over the walk. Oh, and there was no permit issued for the fence. Oops! What do you want for a million eight?Kurash Builders

492 Montrose.Sidewalk had been obstructed by an orange fence for over twelve weeks. The builder poured the concrete for the driveway, the apron and two squares of the sidewalk, but was waiting for the city to pour the other two squares under the sidewalk replacement program. What a cheapskate! This is a corner lot.

492 Montrose.This is the other sidewalk on the corner lot, also obstructed by an orange fence. This is the same situation. Elmhurst code requires the contractor to keep the sidewalk passable. Notice the lovely parkway tree protection.
